a bunch of these cars were featured on the monster garage monster nation shows, there were some really cool ones that aren't listed here also.

 

Somebody may have posted this but this months Vintage Guitar Magazine has an article on the car and it is being restored.

It's funny, in the article they talk about the bass and guitar falling off the back of the car when people forgot to take them off when it was moving.

In the above pic they are not on the car but you can see the black stands for them on the rear fenders.

 

here's one, the moxie horsecar.

 

Lets get them added on, anybody got some pic's of what we missed?

 

I dont know if you would class it as novelty or movie, but my favorite is chitty chitty bang bang. I dont have a picture. I have an idea in my head for one myself too, but it will take more money than I presently have to bring it to fruition.

 

It is actually a fiberglass body made by Prototype Source in Santa Barbara. I worked there at the time and it was a real bummer when Boyd went bankrupt.

Here is another "Novelty" that we built.

 

I saw a Radio Flyer this Fall while I was in Oakland for a football game...saw it driving on the street!!!!!! Couldn't believe it...the guy was on a side street poking around on a Sunday morning!!!!

 

Where...under the hatch so it'll weigh more at the crusher?

 

OOPS, I was referring to the cute 'lil Shevette in the post above.

 

looks like the wiener car

 

Hell yeah

 

I was at the old L.A. Roadsters show, at the Hollywood Bowl, back in the late 60s and saw Bob Reisner's twin engine AMBR car. He drove it in to the show. I suppose it was trailered from where ever he kept it to the parking lot, but it was a running, driving car,. Two engines, trannys and Jag diffs

 

The Dymaxion ran a flathead Ford drivetrain mounted backwards. The rear wheel steered. It handled like an 80 MPH forklift. I think he crashed it.

 

Is that the same Crosley trike that Boyd DeFrance at D&D Cycle built back in 69 or so? I watched quite a bit of the build.

 

I love the old novelty rods. I gotta keep a lookout for the model kits!!

 

well that damn sure ain"t Fresno...........

 

I always like Ed China's Road legal Couch!!

 

ACK, ACK! We come in peace. We will not harm you

I thought I'd seen it all

 

I anyone is from the Northern Illinois area and has gone to the Scoop-The-Loop in downtown Waukegan, they probably saw the giant Shopping Cart. Big ass Hot-Rod shopping cart. The driver sat up where a kid would sit if you were pushing him. All the years I lived there, I never took a picture.

 

WTF indeed!!

 

Hey, in the beginning the Shelby driver looks a lot like Louver Dude!!!!
